Looking back down over all these years   Well, it seems like yesterday   We don't have much, we didn't need much   And we did things our own way   Teacher tired, soon had to realise   We were expectations to the rule   And we learned more down on London's streets   Than we ever learned in school      And we were strong, and Only The Strong survive   And we were strong, and Only The Strong survive      Remember when we were young   Times were hard and we played it tough   And we got caught between the fire and flame   It was so many years ago and nothin' lasts forever   Another lesson learned   Oh oh, Only The Strong survive, Only The Strong survive      I can still recall all those smokey halls   Where we spent so many nights   It was a hard life, but we didn't care   'Cuz what we faced, we faced together   No masquerade we were renegades   There can be no regrets   This town has changed, those days are lost   Still, we never will forget      And we were strong, and Only The Strong survive   And we were strong, and Only The Strong survive      Remember when we were young   Times were hard and we played it tough   And we got caught between the fire and flame   It was so many years ago and nothin' lasts forever   Another lesson learned   Oh oh, Only The Strong survive, Only The Strong survive
